If Homer Simpson can build his version of a car, we should be able to.
Once complete, we need someone with photoshop / CAD skills to render it.
Remember: we aren’t building the fastest car. We are building our most desirable car.
Engine: LS9
Chassis: Panther
Roof: convertible
Transmission: 6spd Manual.
Body: Tail fins and big chrome grill.
Windows must have window vents

Spare tire shall be mounted on passenger side near front wheel.
Rear shall have a chest for all the picnic shit wife needs.
I have not yet decided on 8 track. I’ve never heard it so I don’t know how good it really is

Is it all in one car that already exists?
"Mercedes Streeter" (smart)
06/28/2017 at 11:35, STARS: 1
Yep!
- The body comes from the custom limo smart (IIRC a Russian firm built it).
- The interior from a Maybach Mercedes.
- Two engines from Chrysler Turbine Cars.

The manufacturer of me only issues me one life to live. Pretty brief too. No incentive given to keep this planet in any decent shape after my visit.
I see it like a rental. Use it. Abuse it. Scram.
FYI, someone just blew a head gasket reading the above. Long hair. Hugs trees.

Hmm, I’ll need more time to hammer out the details, but I know this much.
Engine: R-4360 wasp major
Chassis: you try finding something factory made for that engine
Body: REO pickup along these lines with mild chop maybe old heavy duty truck is more realistic
Or
The fuel tank on the second might even be big enough to pass a gas station without stopping.

28 cylinder??? Good luck with that 18 wheeler for a gas tank
"Kiltedpadre" (kiltedpadre)
06/28/2017 at 15:35, STARS: 0
That’s why I chose a tanker as the second body option. I figure 2000 gallons should get me to the nearest cars and coffee with one hour long fuel stop on the way home. The credit card cut-off at $75 at the last gas station is going to suck though.
The other option is to set it up to run on 14 cylinders. Where’s the fun in that though?
